I am addicted to....
TSP or TVP aka Textured Soy Protein/Textured Veggie Protein
For those of you who have no clue what this is, lemme tell ya....
It is these small granules about the size of oatmeal, they are hard & crunchy but when you put them in some kind of food they get soft. I use them in soup alot and they get the texture of meat...kinda reminds me of the meat in Wendys chili. They have no flavor and are just the bomb. I sprinkle them in salad for the crunch factor that I miss from the mound of croutons that I no longer eat.
I get them at the local health food store and they are really cheap....an 8oz bag is $1.77...cant beat that huh?
Heres the nut values...

I use Morningstar Farms Veggie Crumbles found in the frozen food section of Kroger, by the veggie burgers. It's great to toss a handful into Chili or spaghetti sauce. My family doesn't know the difference. Sounds like almost the same thing that you are eating.
